Energy Efficiency Alternatives for Historic Buildings in Extreme Cold Weather Climates - Guide (Legacy 13-703)

Summary

This study reviews the current DoD energy efficiency requirements using current building materials, while assessing specific building concerns associated with this unique climate and seeking potential replacements for current building materials with the hopes of increasing the longevity and use of historic structures. The goal of this assessment is to find ways of meeting or exceeding DoD energy efficiency requirements, minimizing costs for repairs, and maintaining the historical importance of heritage structures. This study specifically seeks to identify sustainable and energy-efficient practices for the treatment of historic buildings that are viable within the Alaskan region—and in like regions—and analyze various aspects of sustainable and energy-efficient rating systems, DoD energy efficiency mandates, and modern energy-efficiency techniques.
